Yes, i guess so. The CUnit I was thinking of (and the only one I
know of) is Andrew Wall's creation posted on
http://www.xprogramming.com/software.htm. This is actually the only place
Ive seen it mentioned and there is no reference to a 'official site' in
the distrubution package. I get the feel of "public domian
snippet" rather than a supported test framework. So it might not be a
problem if Id like to adopt the name 'CUnit', but I like cUnit better.

My thoughts exactly.

lol, you've had some good practice thou lately.. :) I can take it upon me
to count the votes if you dont feel up to it.. :)

Thank you both for your time and thoughts. It seems that cunit -> cUnit.
(not that big of a change if you look at the words side by side.. :)
